Yes it is possible. Gideon's own 1541U has been fitted with Ethernet support by soldering the required components on (the are reserved sockets for the components on the backside of the Batch 1 boards). The thing is that only Gideon knows what components need to be soldered and where.....

* the board itself is about 30% smaller than the 1541U; * it has a MicroSD connector, instead of a full-size SD; * it has a real-time-clock function, for correct file time and date; * it has a larger FPGA, which enables the implementation of more features; * it has a USB Host port, which can be used to connect USB-sticks; * it is targeted to have a suitable case for the device.

Very interesting update. Also, finally some news are shed on the network strategy. Apparently networking will (later on) be provided through an USB adaptor if I understand it correctly. Thanks Impetigo for posting!!

i dont want to sound negative really, but i honestly dont see that working ever. (because simulating a chip and then make it "talk" over usb to another chip is... a LOT harder to do than simply interfacing a damned chip - which by itself never worked right until to date).
